Friday Pretties: Beauty saves the day


Happy weekend lovelies!
Don't you think that beauty can save the day?
I've seen this photo some time ago on decor8 and it's beauty stayed with me. It is made by the talented giardino, who lives in one of my favorite landscapes in the world - in Ticino, the italian part of switzerland. Maybe i can show more of her work here soon.

 I have been quite busy the past few days, and have many fabulous things lined up for you in the next week. A kids-fashion shoot, a paper-flower tutorial and some very yummy sweet things to eat!  Meanwhile i hope you'll have a wonderful weekend - will come round later and have a little chat!

    Yes, I do think that beauty can save the day! A beautiful pink flower, a genuine smile, a loving hug, a few kind words, dear blogging friends, these are things that make life sweeter!

    I love this pretty photo! The softness of the flower petals up against the texture of that wonderful book, and dried plant are heavenly to me! Thanks for sharing. I hope your weekend is full of lovely views just like this photo!!

    xoxo...Gloria

    gorgeous flower, martina. a dahlia, maybe? i'm anxious for slightly nicer weather, so flowers can start getting down to 'business', blooming...

    have a lovely weekend.

    MARTINA!!!! HAPPY BDAY to your husband!!! He wouldn't want to join us on the beach wearing a tutu, would he? teeeeheeeee....and living with ALL MEN...I could see a banana peel or socks under the furniture!!!! Oh dearest, SNOW IS IN OUR FORECAST! Can you believe that? Really, by the time the rest of the world is in summer, we will barely be in spring! But my spirits are happy just having fabulous friends. ENJOY YOURSELF THIS WEEKEND! Anita
